You will be the technical owner of our satellite platform- the person who turns mission needs into a buildable, testable and reliable system , and who is not afraid to go hands-on when reality hits hardware.
Own the platform technical direction: define and drive the system architecture, requirements, interfaces and budgets to ensure a coherent end-to-end platform.
Make the right engineering calls: lead trade-offs across mass, power, thermal, data, RF and reliability to converge on a design the team can actually deliver.
Bring systems to the lab: define the verification approach and actively support AIT and test campaigns (planning, procedures, acceptance criteria, reports).
Be the "go-to" technical problem solver: troubleshoot anomalies, unblock the team, and push issues to closure with pragmatic engineering judgement.
Connect specialists into one system: align subsystem/domain experts across departments, ensuring interfaces, assumptions and decisions are consistent and documented.
Enable execution with structure: work with a Project Manager who supports planning and delivery tracking,



so you can focus on technical leadership and hands-on execution.
